British 1986

"Did you see him?" Allen stretched out his hand and pointed Rex to Hugh Grant standing by the pool.

"You will bring someone with you later, let him try it out for himself, and let Syphis arrange it for you."

For this kind of thing, Allen is too lazy to explain. Real people have done it. If they can't perform well under such circumstances, then they are too useless.

Syphis was a little confused, so he ran to explain to the medical team first. Although Allen didn't care, Syphis still didn't want to be so cruel, so he should be as sparing as possible.

He waved to Grant and said, "Grant, you can take the photo seriously in a moment. Don't be afraid. Our first aid facilities are very complete. The person who will accompany you in the rehearsal this time is a professional stand-in. Don't worry."

Hugh Grant glanced suspiciously at the fat, fat man with dull eyes. The man's skin color was a little strange. He might be Asian, but he looked like he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. A sickly white glow.

This must be a professional stuntman. Anyway, he has been in the industry for so long, and he has never seen such a professional rehearsal stuntman before. He is a little confused.

"Okay Mr. Cephis, don't worry."

Grant secretly tightened his right hand. Isn't it just for real? Since he is a professional stand-in and has complete first aid facilities, let's do it!

All for the art of cinema!

Allen folded his arms and stood beside the swimming pool, watching the camera crew making final arrangements.

The "Adult N" actor put on his diving goggles and prepared to go into the water to observe and learn while waiting for Grant's "rehearsal".

The Korean was asked by Rex to cooperate in the filming, and if he performed well, he could even be released, so he just soaked in the swimming pool and stared blankly at the cameras and the crew watching around him. staff member.

He still doesn't know what kind of scene will greet him next.

With a gentle sound of hitting the board, Grant did not hesitate. He grabbed the Korean's neck from behind, used his right hand hard and his left hand assisted, and pushed the Korean down into the swimming pool.

Allen couldn't see clearly what was going on under the water. Anyway, the water splashing by the Koreans was quite big, and it looked lively, as if the water in the pool was boiling.

No one shouted to stop. The two people in the swimming pool were conducting a ruthless experiment, while the other was struggling to survive. The sound of water rushing, rushing, rushing was particularly harsh at the scene.

"good!"

With the photographer's excited shout, this "rehearsal" was perfect.

Several staff members who had been prepared jumped out of the swimming pool, some to pull Grant, and others to pull the Korean.

Allen took a few steps back and did not disturb the rescue work at the scene.

After waiting for a long time, Syphis carefully approached Allen and whispered: "Master, I don't seem to be able to see people anymore."

"Oh? So dedicated? Take him away and pretend to be a rescuer. Just say it's no big deal. Don't put any psychological burden on the actor."

Allen doesn't care at all about the loss of one Korean. There are still so many in London, and they are inexhaustible. This method of filming is indeed very effective and can be vigorously developed in the future.

Several strong men in white coats were carrying stretchers and loading instruments. They pretended to be presentable and carried away the Korean who looked like he had fainted.

After waving his hand, Allen motioned to the crew to change people while the iron was hot and continue filming.

Huth sent away Allen's letter to Charles a few days ago and waited for a full week. Charles's reply had not yet arrived, but Patrice arrived.

Taking advantage of the rest of the crew, Patrice took the small mazza from the servant, sat next to Allen's lounge chair, stretched out his index and middle fingers with a proud look, and made a victory sign towards Allen.

"Have the funds been settled?"

Looking at the old guy's proud look, it seems that the islanders have secured the funds to invest in the film.

"Master, you guessed this number accurately!"

Patrice shook two fingers emphatically.

"Tsk two million?"

It's only two million pounds, which is a lot of money, but a lot less.

"It's not two million, Master. It's this!"

Patrice continued to wag his two fingers, and under Allen's somewhat surprised gaze, he whispered: "It's twenty million pounds! These islanders are so rich, and they say it's too little for fear of humiliating you, young master. identity of!"

"Twenty million?! Pounds?!"

Damn it

Allen was a little shocked. He used various tricks to increase the budget of the film to 20 million pounds. He had to do this quietly and not announce it to the public. Allen felt that he had exaggerated enough.

But today.

Unexpectedly, the islanders taught him another solid lesson.

The price is twenty million pounds!

"What did you say?"

Allen really couldn't understand, how did Patrice get so much money?

"Well, I didn't say much. I just told them about my resume and slightly exaggerated your influence, young master. They really don't understand this aspect of movies. I said we are professionals here. The team doesn’t need them to interfere, just give them money!”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

The two of them asked and answered each other, and Patrice even felt a little aggrieved by Allen's question. Isn't it wrong to ask for more?

If you don’t kill the fat sheep when you encounter them, what are you waiting for?

Allen reached for the cigarette case from the coffee table next to the lounge chair and took out a cigarette. Patrice quickly stood up and lit Allen's fire.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette.

For the first time, Allen felt that making money was so easy.

I knew they were rich, but I didn’t expect them to be so rich!

This is 20 million pounds, and you took it out without even blinking? !

Allen is now eager to finish this movie and make another one.

Make a science fiction movie next time, increase the budget, and ask for money!

One hundred million, two hundred million, it depends on whether they will give it to you!

After flicking the ashes from his cigarette, Allen calmed down and denied his idea.

It's too obvious to do this, people don't understand, but they're not really stupid.

We still need to put up the frame of the film and television company first, even if it is an empty shell, and attract the islanders to come in and invest, this is the big deal!

At that time, wouldn’t it be that how much money he says will be how much money he says?

There are less than three months left until October, so we must seize the time to make arrangements.

Thinking of this, Allen put out the cigarette butt, stood up and ordered: "Notice, let's call it a day! I'm going back to the manor now to tell Monica that I will send someone to pick her up in the evening."

After leaving a hasty word, Allen called Patrice and turned around to leave.

"Master, what are you doing?"

When Hu Te was called to the study by Allen, he was still a little confused. During the past few days, his young master had been working hard on the set and would not go home until night. What happened today?

Back so early?

It’s not like the filming is finished.

"There is something urgent. Please take note of it and help me with my advice."

When people are needed, they hate having few. Old Carl is in the United States, and it will definitely be too late to discuss matters with him now. The old man at home can help Allen check for leaks and fill in the vacancies, and there is only one Hu Te housekeeper left.

"Okay, Master, tell me!"

Seeing Allen become so serious for the rare occasion, Hu Te did not dare to neglect. He took out his single-sided glasses from his pocket and put them on, picked up his notebook, and looked at Allen seriously.

"Patrice is back today and has attracted investment for a new movie from people on the island, totaling 20 million pounds!"

"hiss"

Hu Te also took a deep breath when he heard this number.

"Their original purpose was to acquire a large and influential film and television company. Now, considering their financial resources, I am ready to get involved. How about we build a film and television company ourselves and sell it to the islanders!"

"Master, what are you going to do?"

When it comes to such business practices, this is not Huth's strong point.

"Well, this is what I'm thinking about. With two million, you can ask people to go to other countries in our Commonwealth and acquire some small film and television companies. I want quantity, not quality. I want to acquire dozens of film and television companies. Whatever. Buy some cheap bad movie rights, and then let’s reorganize in the UK and create a new, large-scale multinational film and television company. Do you think this method is feasible?”

Allen knocked on the table. Although the islanders didn't understand, Allen was still very cautious. He was cheating money. At least he had to pretend, right?

If nothing else, a large multinational film and television company has subsidiaries in dozens of countries. Doesn’t this sound scary?

Is it correspondingly more expensive to acquire such a large multinational film and television company?

What's more, the boss is still Mr. Allen.

"this"

Hu Te didn't know what to say for a while. This kind of thing seemed unreliable at first glance, but as long as it was done covertly, it didn't seem impossible. The main reason was that the acquirer didn't understand!

The film and television industry, before the emergence of Internet companies, was the most bubbled field.

The valuations of many film and television companies are very false!

Take movies as an example. How much is the copyright value of a film and television work?

Who can tell clearly?

Take Allen's last movie as an example. He insisted that the copyright of that movie was worth 100 million pounds. Who could argue with him?

Whether someone actually spends 100 million pounds to buy it is one thing, but whether it is worth it is entirely up to him. If you find it expensive, you don’t have to buy it.

The moisture inside is very, very large!

Very maneuverable.

"Young master, what you mean is that we purchase the copyrights of some bad movies from various regions and distribute them to each leather goods company. By raising the price on a small scale for each subsidiary, and finally adding them together, we can achieve a large-scale price increase. Purpose?!"

"Yes, and we need to move quickly. Before the end of the year, to be precise, before October, I need a lot of liquidity. This is our opportunity!"

Hu Te and Allen looked at each other. It was rare for the young master to have such fighting spirit. They nodded while recording the key points of what the young master said today in their notebook.

"I understand, young master, I will find someone to make arrangements soon."

"Okay! You can call Karl later and ask him to quickly find out the information I need."

"OK!"

With the incident of the islanders, Allen's plan was instantly disrupted.

Originally.

He is also planning to spend some money to buy some old production lines in the United States before the end of the year, and then move these production lines to China to slowly develop.

But now that he has the family sponsorship money from the islanders, Allen is going to cut some meat from the islanders first this time.

In this way, if you have sufficient funds on hand, you can operate better, and you can also try to take a look at industries that you were not prepared to enter before.

In the flickering candlelight, in the outer hall of Allen's bedroom, on the small dining table, Monica took a bite of food, raised her head and quietly glanced at Allen sitting opposite, saw his eyes looking at her, and quickly lowered her head to continue. Eat something.

Since the last "drama talk", Monica found that the usual Allen and the Allen at certain times seemed to be completely different people.

It was so wild and unbearable for her.

Mainly because Allen's play was so exciting that she couldn't let go.

But she couldn't refuse Allen directly, and she was even afraid that Allen would be angry if she refused.

But the more secretive and half-assed she was, the more excited Allen was.

Today was the first time that Allen took Monica home for dinner in the many days he had known her, and it was a candlelight dinner in such a very private space.

As time passed, the atmosphere at the dinner table slowly changed a little bit.

When Monica lowered her head to eat, she always felt Allen's eyes wandering over her body. His eyes were as if they were real, making her even feel a little itchy on the tip of her nose.

"Alan, let's not go to the set to play anymore, okay?"

Monica begged pitifully.

"Oh don't you like it?"

Allen stood up and changed his position, from opposite Monica to next to her. With a gentle pull, he pulled Monica to lean against him.

"I don't really like being on set, like that"

When talking about this, although she said she didn't like it, she recalled in her mind the tricks Allen had played with her on the set recently, and Monica felt that her body was feeling better and a little out of control.

Allen played with Monica's left earlobe with his right hand, lowered his head and sniffed her hair.

A fresh scent of shampoo.

Now Monica has not yet passed her 23rd birthday. At this age, she is far from the maturity of a mature woman.

Some of it is just a kind of girlish wildness. If she didn't wear the European and American style heavy makeup, from a certain angle, Monica now looks a bit like a famous vase in the future - Megan Fox.

The main thing is that Monica now has the temperament of a good family woman.

Every time Allen bullied her, he would resist and welcome her, even lowering his voice, frowning and not daring to scream, which was extremely pleasing to Allen.

Although Allen would feel a little guilty every time after playing, but as soon as his sage time passed and he saw Monica again, he would become a little itchy again.

Now, her seemingly pitiful act of begging for mercy, not only did not win any sympathy from Allen, but instead reminded him of some more perverted ways to play.

"Okay. At my house tonight, you won't be afraid this time, right?"

Saying words of relief, holding Monica's hand, Allen slowly stood up and walked towards the back room of the bedroom.

PS:

Yesterday I went to get a haircut and tidy up. This afternoon, I have to meet for a meeting soon. There is a high probability that I will be fine tomorrow and then my life will return to normal.

Let me introduce you to an update today, so that you can stay attentive until I finish the blind date process tonight.
